Art Bell chats with Trey Elling about CONSTANT COMEDY: HOW I STARTED COMEDY CENTRAL AND LOST MY SENSE OF HUMOR, including: discovering Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Jon Stewart's character, stumbling upon the name "Comedy Central," striking gold with State of the Union: Undressed while avoiding separate hosting catastrophes with Al Franken and Dennis Miller, unknowingly angering Bill Maher with an award-winning ad campaign for Politically Incorrect but getting an ironic last-laugh, and more.
